It takes great courage to accept a girl for who she is, not for what she has been through. Mathew Gilmour is a fine young man who is married to Elizabeth Smart. Elizabeth was the survivor of the tragic and horrific incident when she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted for nine months. In spite of her chilling past, Mathew is happily married and doesn’t take his wife for granted.
